Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832) was a novelist, poet, playwright, philosopher, and scientist. He wrote The Sorrows of Young Werther when he was just twenty-four. “Faust,” his most enduring work, took fifty-seven years to write and was published in its entirety only after Goethe’s death at eighty-three.
Called “in a class by himself” by Oprah Daily, and “a master in his field” by The New York Times, Edoardo Ballerini is an award-winning and celebrated narrator of audiobooks.
